2. To remove front bumper, go underneath
vehicle on backside of bumper to remove
two hex nuts with a 18MM socket. Do this to
both sides. Place hex nuts and bumper aside
for later reinstallation. Unplug the foglights if
available.
Vehicle Weight: Motorhome mount tow bars
are recommended for use with this baseplate.
Due to the design of the removable tabs,
the RangeFinderII, Adventurer, Acclaim and
Ambassador tow bars can not be used. The
Acclaim tow bar may be used, but will not fold
and store on the front of the vehicle. Adapters,
except the BX8833 and BX88151, can not be
used with this baseplate.
Installation Notes: The fascia and air dam are
removed for installation. Remove tow hooks (will
not be reinstalled).
The dimensional variations between otherwise
identical vehicles can be considerable. While the
baseplate was designed for easy installation,
it may be necessary to tailor the baseplate
slightly to compensate for auto manufacturer’s
tolerances. These minor adjustments may
include ling a hole slightly, bending electrical
rods or bending end plates.
The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is
recommended for this vehicle.
Installation Instructions
1. Remove belly pan from under the vehicle.
Using a 13MM socket, remove two bolts and
also one push pin (gray arrow) with a at
screwdriver. Do this to both sides. Set aside
for later reinstallation.
